AZ-004 (Staccato loxapine). We are developing AZ-004 for the rapid treatment of agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. In December 2009, we submitted an NDA for AZ-004. The NDA was accepted for filing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, in February 2010. In October 2010, we received a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, from the FDA regarding our NDA for AZ-004, submitted as Adasuvetm Staccato (loxapine) inhalation aerosol, 5 mg and 10 mg. A CRL is issued by the FDA indicating that the NDA review cycle is complete and the application is not ready for approval in its present form. In December 2010, we completed an End-of-Review meeting with the FDA to discuss the issues outlined in the AZ-004 CRL. In January 2011, we received the official FDA minutes of the meeting, and we anticipate resubmitting the AZ-004 NDA in July 2011. We plan to seek commercial partners for the worldwide development and commercialization of AZ-004
